# Shepherd Write-up for draft-ietf-lamps-rfc5019bis-04
## Document History
1. Does the working group (WG) consensus represent the strong concurrence of a
few individuals, with others being silent, or did it reach broad agreement?
There is broad support in the LAMPS WG for this document. WG Last Call
included many implementers, and all of the issues that were raise were
resolved quickly.
2. Was there controversy about particular points, or were there decisions where
the consensus was particularly rough?
Suggested improvements were readily accepted by the authors.
3. Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If
so, please summarize the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the
responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this
questionnaire is publicly available.)
No one has threatened an appeal; however, one concern was raised during
WG Last Call that should be highlighted. This document includes:
~~~
OCSP responders SHOULD NOT distribute OCSP responses that contain
CertIDs that use SHA-1 if the OCSP responder has no clients that
require the use of SHA-1.
~~~
It is recognized that there is no obvious point in time when this will be
true. However, no one could offer a better criteria for stopping support
for SHA-1, which everyone wants to do.
4. For protocol documents, are there existing implementations of the contents of
the document? Have a significant number of potential implementers indicated
plans to implement? Are any existing implementations reported somewhere,
either in the document itself (as [RFC 7942][3] recommends) or elsewhere
(where)?
OCSP is widely deployed.
## Additional Reviews
5. Do the contents of this document closely interact with technologies in other
IETF working groups or external organizations, and would it therefore benefit
from their review? Have those reviews occurred? If yes, describe which
reviews took place.
No concerns about interaction with other technologies.
6. Describe how the document meets any required formal expert review criteria,
such as the MIB Doctor, YANG Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.
No special reviews are needed.
7. If the document contains a YANG module, has the final version of the module
been checked with any of the [recommended validation tools][4] for syntax and
formatting validation? If there are any resulting errors or warnings, what is
the justification for not fixing them at this time? Does the YANG module
comply with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) as specified
in [RFC 8342][5]?
This document does not include a YANG module.
8. Describe reviews and automated checks performed to validate sections of the
final version of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code,
BNF rules, MIB definitions, CBOR's CDDL, etc.
ASN.1 is used. It is a subset of the ASN.1 from the full OCSP specification
in RFC 6960. As a result, this document does not contain an ASN.1 module.
## Document Shepherd Checks
9. Based on the shepherd's review of the document, is it their opinion that this
document is needed, clearly written, complete, correctly designed, and ready
to be handed off to the responsible Area Director?
Yes.
10. Several IETF Areas have assembled [lists of common issues that their
reviewers encounter][6]. For which areas have such issues been identified
and addressed? For which does this still need to happen in subsequent
reviews?
No concerns were noticed.
11. What type of RFC publication is being requested on the IETF stream ([Best
Current Practice][12], [Proposed Standard, Internet Standard][13],
[Informational, Experimental or Historic][14])? Why is this the proper type
of RFC? Do all Datatracker state attributes correctly reflect this intent?
As reflected in the Datatracker: Proposed Standard on the IETF Stream.
12. Have reasonable efforts been made to remind all authors of the intellectual
property rights (IPR) disclosure obligations described in [BCP 79][7]? To
the best of your knowledge, have all required disclosures been filed? If
not, explain why. If yes, summarize any relevant discussion, including links
to publicly-available messages when applicable.
The authors have explicitly stated that thye is unaware of any IPR
that needs to be declared.
13. Has each author, editor, and contributor shown their willingness to be
listed as such? If the total number of authors and editors on the front
page is greater than five, please provide a justification.
Yes.
14. Document any remaining I-D nits in this document. Simply running the [idnits
tool][8] is not enough; please review the ["Content Guidelines" on
authors.ietf.org][15]. (Also note that the current idnits tool generates
some incorrect warnings; a rewrite is underway.)
IDnits offers the following complaint:
~~~
The abstract seems to indicate that this document updates RFC5019, but
the header doesn't have an 'Updates:' line to match this.
~~~
This is an error. This document obsoletes RFC 5019, and the header
indicates this. Further, the Introduction contains a list of bullets
for the "Substantive changes to RFC 5019".
IDnits offers the following additional complaints:
~~~
-- Looks like a reference, but probably isn't: '0' on line 282
-- Looks like a reference, but probably isn't: '1' on line 283
-- Looks like a reference, but probably isn't: '2' on line 203
~~~
This is not the case. These are ASN.1 tags.
15. Should any informative references be normative or vice-versa? See the [IESG
Statement on Normative and Informative References][16].
No concerns.
16. List any normative references that are not freely available to anyone. Did
the community have sufficient access to review any such normative
references?
All references are freely available. [OCSPMP] takes a minute to locate,
but it is available.
17. Are there any normative downward references (see [RFC 3967][9] and [BCP
97][10]) that are not already listed in the [DOWNREF registry][17]? If so,
list them.
There are no downward references.
18. Are there normative references to documents that are not ready to be
submitted to the IESG for publication or are otherwise in an unclear state?
If so, what is the plan for their completion?
This document will wait on [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc8446bis], which seems to be
progressing fairly rapidly.
19. Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs? If
so, does the Datatracker metadata correctly reflect this and are those RFCs
listed on the title page, in the abstract, and discussed in the
introduction? If not, explain why and point to the part of the document
where the relationship of this document to these other RFCs is discussed.
This document obsoletes RFC 5019.
20. Describe the document shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section,
especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document.
Confirm that all aspects of the document requiring IANA assignments are
associated with the appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm
that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified. Confirm
that each newly created IANA registry specifies its initial contents,
allocations procedures, and a reasonable name (see [RFC 8126][11]).
No updates to any IANA registries are needed.
21. List any new IANA registries that require Designated Expert Review for
future allocations. Are the instructions to the Designated Expert clear?
Please include suggestions of designated experts, if appropriate.
No new IANA registries are needed.
